I think you can still get MS for $97 if you get the trial first, once you do that they will offer it at a discounted price. MS has been buggy for me lately as well, many searches sit just stuck on 96-99% and never finish plus some random issues here and there. Most of the time closing and then reopening it will take care of the issue. Good software so I hope they get these minor things fixed.

Rank tracker is a great tool to use for checking serps. I have been using that and do not have much problems except maybe when customising my reports.
But if you want just to get your rankings, then it pretty much does the trick.

Newbie question - you talk about deleting the "settings" fold to extend MS trial, where exactly is that folder? Every time I try to download new trial, after removing current version of ms from my pc, MS tells me my trial is expired, they obviously have a way of knowing that a previous version was on my computer. I have checked the MS folder in program files but can't find the "settings" folder.

One thing I do not like about rank tracker is that you can not see your ranks in one page and with Market Samurai, once your trial is over and you reset the trial, your rankings are all reset. Not sure if someone knows how to prevent this.

Its in the appdata folder.

In windows 7 go to to C:\Users\yourname\Appdata\Roaming\Marketsamurai.xxxxxxx

MS had a problem with not displaying Title Competition or # of urls containing exact match keywords, but they just released an update two days ago that fixed that. I have the paid version of MS and think it is 100% worth the money. Definitely my preference.
